Crysencio Summerville has no interest in leaving Leeds United — Leeds Press 4/1/24

Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville has no interest in leaving Elland Road this January, with multiple clubs watching the player this season.

After attracting major interest in the summer from big European clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Summerville’s incredible start to the season has attracted more suitors recently.

The 22-year old has 12 goals and six assists in the Championship so far. The Whites are currently in fourth place in the league, seven points off an automatic promotion place.

Summerville joined Leeds United in 2021 as part of the club’s policy of recruiting high potential youngsters under Victor Orta.

The Dutch youngster burst onto the scene with Leeds United in the 2022/23 season in the Premier League and has not looked back since.

Summerville famously scored a winning goal at Anfield after coming off the bench to hand Liverpool a rare home defeat.

Who is interested ?

According to the report from TEAMTalk, Newcastle are looking at signing the player. Eddie Howe is looking for more attacking options after the club’s campaign stuttered in recent weeks – exiting the League Cup, Champions League and dropping down to midtable in the Premier League all in the space of a month.

The Magpies’ attack has not been as sharp as previously this season, with players struggling for goals and form since the festive period. Newcastle have won just one game in their last seven.

Summer signing Harvey Barnes, who was expected to provide depth in attack has also been out with a long term injury.

Staying at Leeds United in January may be the smartest move for Summerville. It puts his focus on securing promotion to the Premier League. The youngster is already a Premier League calibre player so that’s a stage he deserves to play, and hopefully he will lead his club there.

A player who knuckled down, shut out the noise earlier this summer is delivering one of the best seasons by any Leeds United player in recent years. I believe he will stay and finish the campaign.

Staying and earning promotion to the Premier League also boosts the player’s value if he ever wants to leave the club. Joining Newcastle in January, with the club out of all possible competitions and trophies, would be a waste of time.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
